No federal aid required. $150 to $250 deposit holds your seat with weekly payment plans after. CCI is a NYS BPSS-licensed proprietary school.
Where & When
Three campuses. Evening classes. Saturday labs. Built around your job.
Monday – Wednesday evenings on Zoom
All live instruction runs online Monday through Wednesday evenings. A licensed instructor leads every session — not a recording, not a slide deck. You log in after your shift and get through the course without missing a day of work.
Saturday in-person labs — Bronx, Brooklyn, or Monroe CT
Labs run Saturdays at your chosen campus: 750 Astor Ave in the Bronx, 470 Vanderbilt Ave in Brooklyn, or 755 Main Street in Monroe, CT. You pick the location closest to you. This is where you draw blood and run EKGs under a real instructor — the hands-on piece hospitals require.
5 weeks start to finish
The full program — Zoom evenings plus Saturday labs — wraps in 5 weeks. You leave with a national NPCE certification, not a certificate of completion. That distinction is what gets you past the HR filter at a hospital or dialysis center.

Common Questions
Real answers. No fine print games.
I work full-time. Can I actually finish this program?
Yes - that is who CCI is built for. Class is Mon to Wed evenings on Zoom. Saturday in-person labs at the Bronx, Brooklyn, or Monroe CT campus. You keep your day job and add the certification on top.
I do not have $1,250 right now.
Deposits start at $150 to $250 and hold your seat. Weekly payment plans cover the remainder. There is no federal aid involved, which is why we can keep tuition this far below what community colleges charge.
Is this legitimate? Will hospitals actually accept the cert?
CCI is a NYS BPSS-licensed proprietary school. Phlebotomy and EKG exit certifications are issued by NPCE - a national certification body. CPR / AED / Basic First Aid is HSI. BLS / ACLS / PALS is American Heart Association. We hold active training contracts with Mount Sinai, Jacobi Hospital, and NYC DOHMH.
What if Spanish or Haitian Creole is my first language?
Trilingual instruction is one of the reasons CCI exists. Flavio Alarcón runs our Spanish Instruction Department. We teach in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole. The certification at the end is the same one any English-language program issues.
What happens after I reserve my spot?
You get a free one-on-one info call with Frank or admissions advisor Margie. You get every program length and price in writing, ask any questions, and decide whether to deposit. No pressure, no hidden upsell.
The Math On Waiting Another Year
One year of staying at $14 an hour costs you about $30,000 in salary you did not earn.
The free info call takes 30 minutes. You walk away with a cert plan, a price list, and a deposit option — or you walk away with nothing and you keep the $14 an hour. Your choice.
